A workshop for little makers to craft a lantern from scratch and decorate it with festive designs.
Give your child the chance to enjoy a creative, hands-on afternoon making their very own winter lantern. Designed especially for children aged 6 and above, this workshop invites little makers to craft a lantern from scratch, decorating it with festive designs inspired by traditional winter solstice symbols.
This gentle, guided session encourages creativity and helps children connect with the seasonal spirit in a relaxed, supportive setting.
The workshop ends with a special lantern parade to the front of the museum, where children will see their creations come to life by candlelight. Afterward, everyone will be invited to enjoy a warming cup of hot chocolate.
All materials will be provided. Please bring a snack and a drink.
